A simple winter salad of mango, white cabbage and dill

While winter has started and the shortest days of the year are upon us and with the festive season in full swing, maybe it is time for a little winter salad coleslaw style.

COLESLAW – traditionally Dutch, this white cabbage salad has either a vinaigrette or mayonnaise dressing. Often it has some carrots in it too, here I added mango for that festive feel. Cabbages are bang in season now, so enjoy!

MANGO – definitely not local to Belgium but in season now. Mine came from Columbia and were super sweet and ripe. I love the tropical fruit season and will be making pineapple chutney during the Christmas break. ( stay tuned for the recipe)

For the dressing you can keep it real simple with your favourite olive oil – mine is Kalios 02 (not paid to post) – and some cider vinegar. Or add a little yogurt for freshness, lemon juice for sharpness or chili flakes for heat. The dill gives that delicate anise flavour I love, without overpowering.
